I'd like to have a countdown timer displayed on the screen during breaks. I
couldn't find this in PP 2002. Any suggestions (related to this topic)?

Re: Countdown Timer

Thanks, but I'm looking for a countdown timer to display on a slide to let everyone know how much time before a break is over. Like 10:00 minutes remaining....9:59 minutes remaining, etc. Any other suggestions?

Countdown Timer

I would like to include a countdown timer during a
presentation for grad school. Does anyone even know if
one is available? I seemed to have looked everywhere.

I little more specifically I want a timer to count down
for 5min while people work in groups. This way it will
be on the Smart Board screen while they work, and they
can just glance up at it. Thanks in advance, Andrea

Re: Countdown Timer

The easiest to do is to create a 6 slide show, each displaying a large
minute count (5:00 - 4:00 - 3:00 - 2:00 - 1:00 - TIME). The set your slides
to automatically transition at 60 seconds. Instant countdown timer. You can
increase the slide count and add 30 second intervals (4:30, 3:30, etc.),
just decrease the slide transition to 30 seconds.

The other PowerPoint option is to find a VBA script that creates a countdown
script. Or you could leave the realm of PowerPoint and run a countdown/timer
program - do a search at www.download.com for "timer" and you will find
plenty.

Re: Countdown Timer

Be careful using PowerPoint's transition timing to time your presentation.
If the machine you are running on is busy, the timing may not be right.
(Remember exact timing and PowerPoint don't play well together.)
